Hello. I'm using Bering-uClibc (not sure which version since the box is headless) with Linux 2.4.32. It's running on a 486 with four 3c509's in it. One is connected to a Motorola Surfboard 4200 cable modem.
When I get online with my Windows laptop using my LEAF box as a gateway, my downloads are poor (50-60kB/s) but when I connect my Windows laptop directly to the modem, they are more reasonable (200-400kB/s). Before I cry to my Internet provider, I'd like to eliminate my system from the list of possible problems. I've used this exact same 486 in a different setup where it was actually a router behind another commercial router which was connected to a cable modem with much better speeds. When connecting the modem directly to my laptop, I notice that I get an IP address from a completely different network range than what my LEAF box gets. When I plug my LEAF box back in, it gets the same IP address as it had before. I've tried changing the MAC address of my eth0 adapter to the MAC address of my laptop's ethernet adapter and then my LEAF box gets the same IP address that my laptop got, but my speeds are still poor. Is there anything that I can do to eliminate the possibility that my Linux box is causing the problem? Does anyone know what the problem could be? If you need any additional information, just ask. Thanks. Andy ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
